Gypsy Travellers and unauthorised sites

In line with Scottish Government guidelines, North Ayrshire Council considers Gypsy/Travellers to be a minority ethnic community. The council recognises Gypsy/Travellers right to a nomadic life and respects that Gypsy/Travellers may wish to maintain a travelling way of life as part of their cultural identity. There should be no discrimination against Gypsy/Travellers because of their way of life or culture.
